    Lurk .. Lurk .. Lurk.. I'm thrilled, but nervous to add my two cents
    (or perhaps two pence) to this august group of metalsmiths. I look
    forward to your comments with my morning coffee. 

    I have been in correspondence with the Argentium Silver Company, Ltd.
     AT  Middlesex University in hope of finding a process whereby sterling
    silver objects can be plated or otherwise "coated" with argentium
    silver. They have indicated that no process currently exists, but it
    is under research by their organization. My thoughts immediately
    turned to all of the Orchid chemists, metallurgists, engineers, etc.
    Perhaps the talent and ingenuity of one or more of you can solve this
    problem (not to mention reaping a jackpot-sized financial return). 

Regards,
Jamie King
